I want to start dovecot through DJBs Daemontools-supervise, is there a configuration option that lets dovecot stay in foreground?

Here's my run file, which only uses the imap binary from dovecot, and does connection control with tcpserver, auth by imapfront-auth, and SSL using a modified stunnel (Scott Gifford's chroot/proxy patch):

#!/bin/sh

eval $(/usr/local/bin/envdir ./runenv /usr/bin/env)

exec 2>&1

Ensure that PRNG is adequately seeded.
